May I ask for your assistance in the following matter?

On youw website I can see that the “Porträtt av Johan August Meijerfeldt (1664-1749). 1600-tal. Osignerad. Olja på duk 152×115 cm. Retuscher, dukveck, dubblerad.” has been auxioned and sold on 15 May 2014. The Helsingborgs Auktionsverk is mentioned as well. I believe the painting was in the posession of the Bennet family, the previous owners of the nearby Rosendal castle.

Count Meijerfeldt sr is the greatgrandfather of my greatgrandfather. As part of my historical research into my family I have established a website. One of the pages https://meijenfeldt.nl/?page_id=701  is devoted to all portraits of count Meijerfeld sr I could find. The quality of the photo of this particular painting is quite poor.

My question to you is whether you are willing to forward my request for a better photo to the buyer of the painting. As an alternative I am  willing to travel from Amsterdam to the place where the picture is now, as soon as the Corona rules allow me to.

Thank you in advance for any trouble taken,
